Zones in City
Core Zone covers the most land by parcel count: 278 parcels, about 64% of the suburb. These are the 7 most common zones across all 435 parcels.
| Zone | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Core Zone | 278 | 63.9% |
| Designated | 122 | 28.0% |
| Community Facilities | 13 | 3.0% |
| Transport | 11 | 2.5% |
| Urban Open Space | 5 | 1.1% |
| Leisure and Accommodation | 4 | 0.9% |
| Mixed Use | 2 | 0.5% |
6 parcels carry more than one zone. On a split lot the controls differ across the block, so a single zone label for the property can be misleading. The map shows each part and its area.
Constraints mapped in City
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per suburb. These totals show how much of City each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
0%
No parcel in City is inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The whole suburb has been mapped, so bushfire planning controls don't apply anywhere here.
Flood
Not mapped
No flood mapping is published for City in the data behind our map, so we can't say whether any of it is affected.
Heritage
35.4%
154 parcels (35.4%) are inside mapped heritage areas. The other 14.94% of City has no heritage mapping, so we can't say whether those parcels are affected.
Heritage, flood and bushfire controls on your specific lot can remove the fast-track and require a full application, even when the general rules say you're fine.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find the zoning of a specific property in City?
Enter the address in ZoneScout's address search. It returns the zone, the overlays mapped on that lot and the lot boundary, queried live from the Australian Capital Territory planning services when you search.

Core Zone is the largest by parcel count: 278 of 435 parcels, about 64%. The full breakdown of the 7 most common zones is in the table above.
How many properties are in City?
Our map holds 435 parcels for City, covering about 1.0 km². That is what our map holds for this suburb. It is drawn from the state cadastre, but some parcel types are deliberately left out — strata unit lots stacked on their base parcel, and easements — so it is not the same as a count of titles.
Is this zoning information official?
It is built from the Australian Capital Territory government's own published spatial data, but it is a snapshot taken on 2026-11-08 and is not a substitute for a planning certificate. For a decision that matters, check the address live and confirm with the ACT’s Territory Planning Authority.
